Description
Tucked away in a peaceful and highly desirable setting, this wonderfully unique home is finished to a high standard throughout and is filled with natural light and calmness. The ground floor features a generous open-plan living area, where the stylish sitting/dining/kitchen space flows effortlessly to the outdoors via patio doors that lead directly onto a timber decking, perfect for entertaining. The room benefits from underfloor heating and a cosy log burner to create a warm and inviting atmosphere year-round. Also on the ground floor is a versatile bedroom with its own mezzanine level, ideal as a creative space, or additional sleeping area. A sleek shower room completes the downstairs accommodation, offering excellent convenience and flexibility. Upstairs, two double bedrooms are complemented by a modern bathroom with a luxurious Japanese bath beneath Velux windows that frame a tranquil outlook. A separate WC adds further practicality. All the rooms are warmed by gas central heating and benefit from double glazed windows.
Externally, the home continues to impress. The front offers off-street parking via a double driveway bordered by a well-kept lawn and front garden shed. The rear garden is a truly tranquil retreat, landscaped in a Japanese style with laid lawn, chip stones, patio decking, and a detached workshop/summer house perfect for remote work or hobbies. Mature fruit trees including plum, cherry, apple, and gooseberries, share space with medicinal and wild planting that attracts bees and other pollinators, creating a garden that is not only beautiful but ecologically mindful. A garden shed adds further storage, while a rear gate opens directly onto the enchanting Redhall Gardens and Craiglockhart Dell.
